✓ It is an absolute privilege and honour because in this video we get to go into the kitchen of one of our favourite Restaurant's in Leicester; a kitchen where Chef Krishna reveals some of his recipe "secrets" for some wok stir-fry "Street Food" style Indian / Chinese dishes.

VIDEO TIMELINE:
00:00 to 01:05 walking into restaurant
from 1:06 to 10:32 is the wok stir frying kitchen action.

from 10:33 to 11:09 Chef Krishna kindly says what the ingredients' are that he uses.

from 11:10 to 15:18 gives an insight into what preparation is required before the restaurant opens, thus we are given a brief masterclass in cutting and chopping techniques.

Some of the ingredients used are:
* Vegetable Oil (Tel).
* Sugar
* Chinese Salt / Ajinomoto (msg)
* Salt (Nimak).
* Light Soya Sauce.
* Tomato Ketchup.
* Dark Soy Sauce.
* White Pepper.
* White Vinegar.
* Chilli Sauce.
* Garlic and Ginger Puree (Adrak & Lasun).
* Freshly Chopped Green Coriander (Lila Dhana).
* Chopped Green Chilli (Lilu Lasun).
* Chopped Celary
* Chopped Onion (Dungri).
* Sliced Chilli & Celery.
* Spring Onion.
* Diced Capsicum & Onion (Simla).
* Carrot & Cabbage Matchsticks.

Note that; in Indian restaurants dishes are cooked on a very high heat which delivers a slight smokiness to the cooked food and gives that distinctive restaurant flavour and character to a dish.

The guys were very busy at most times of my visit and I didn't feel it appropriate or right to keep asking too much of what the recipe ingredients were

Tiranga Restaurant & Bar is genuinely one of our favourite restaurants whenever my family and I visit Leicester because the food never fails to deliver on the taste factor and the portion size of the food served up is extraordinarily very generous.

A special thank you to the owners Husmukh & Pushpa Patel, Master Head Chefs Krishna & Champak Bhai who welcomed us and graciously allowed us a privileged glimpse into their kitchen to do the videoing.

It's a pleasant coincidence that this restaurant shares the same name as the 1993 movie film Tirangaa.
